All Kinds of Stuff

It was super sunny and freakishly warm again today, so we took Wm to the park.  He had SOOOO much fun!!  Suzanne and I took a walk through the Park of Roses then played with The Boys.

Suz spinning The Boys.  Wm is having the time of his life...Steve is dying (clearly).

MORE SPINNING! I didn't manage to get Steve to barf...this time.

The Boys being cute

Then, all sorts of kitchen activities have been going on.  I found a cool looking recipe for homemade pierogi.  So I decided to give it a try tonight.  It said to knead the dough for 8 minutes.  Quite the upper arm work out.  Steve had to tap in for a minute.  But they were GOOD.  I have only had pierogi a couple times ever, but Steve (a self proclaimed pierogi expert) said they were the best he has ever had and downed 8 of them!  Pierogi win!

Sealing 'em up!

Stuffing

Ready to eat!  After being boiled and then fried in butter. Ohhhhh YEAH!

I have an abundance of peanut butter and powdered sugar (due to some overbuying around Christmas).  So...what is one to do with peanut butter and powdered sugar?  BUCKEYES!  I thought it would be a fun thing for Wm to help me cook since he loves helping me in the kitchen.  He came home on Friday with a blue card - and we had time to kill until Steve got home from work.  So we busted out the Buckeye makin' goodies.  Wm had the BEST time!! He has said at least a dozen times, "I love eating Buckeyes...but they were even more fun to make!"  It was the perfect thing for Wm to help with.  He loved rolling the peanut butter balls - then had even more fun dipping them in chocolate!  And he did GREAT!  He made PERFECT Buckeyes!
